1
Cut the top from each lemon to make the lid then set aside. Trim the other end of the lemon to create a flat base. Use your smallest serrate knife to cut out the flesh from the lemon – squeeze into a jug until you have ½ cup juice. Put the hollowed-out lemons and lemon lids in the freezer, saving for presentation.
